Generally, the staged photos were taken in the olden days, around 2004. I have not aged at all, so you may regard these to be an accurate representation of what my big fat pot belly does not look like.

Now remember: One does not read the Washington Post to learn anything. One reads the Washington Post to know what the banker propaganda is for the day.

Let's take a look at the Post's spin on things:

GAZA - At least 10 pro-Palestinian activists were killed and dozens were
wounded aboard an aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip when Israeli
naval commandos seized control of the boats early Monday, the Israeli
army said.

So far so good. Straight-up reporting.

...

Israel had warned the organizers of the flotilla -- transporting items
such as concrete to help Gaza rebuild after last year's war with Israel
-- that they would not be allowed to sail directly through the blockaded
region.

Okay. Here we go. They were transporting items such as "concrete to help them rebuild after last year's war with Israel." The reader here would be left with the idea that the humanitarians were somehow rebuilding Gaza's war machine after their war with Israel. That, however, is not quite how it went down. The Israelis have been attempting to ethnically cleanse Gaza for some time. It is true that the Gazans were firing rockets at the Israelis. But that wasn't until Israel had completely blockaded Gaza. And a blockade is, under international law, considered an act of war. And Jews have zero claim to Palestine whatsoever. I seem to recall Jews' own law that Israel is not to be formed by sword prior to the Messianic Redemption. (And that sure ain't now.)

The activists refused to dock in Israel and have relief supplies
unloaded and inspected there, saying they did not trust that Israel
would allow the contents to be trucked to the Gaza Strip.

Very astute. The Israelis would have seized all humanitarian aid.

Overnight, Israeli naval personnel dropped from helicopters on to the
largest passenger ship from Turkey, which had several hundred people
aboard. Short video clips broadcast on various television stations
showed demonstrators clubbing the navy personnel with metal bars and
showed at least one soldier firing.

To listen to the Post tell it, the humanitarians just magically started clubbing the navy personnel. Well, Israel stormed vessels in international waters. The occupants of those vessels had every right to club or shoot or otherwise defend themselves from what are essentially pirates.

The Israeli army said demonstrators attacked the navy personnel with
knives and live fire and seized at least one of the soldier's weapons.

"This IDF naval operation was carried out under orders from the
political leadership to halt the flotilla from reaching the Gaza Strip
and breaching the naval blockade," the Israeli army said in its
statement.

...

"We strongly condemn this inhumane act of Israel. This intervention
which took place in open seas and which was a clear violation of
international law may lead to irreparable damage to relations, the
Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
